Definitions
- This invention relates to an instrument for positioning a cup component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis.
- Certain orthopaedic joint prostheses include a hollow cup with an inner surface which defines a generally hemispherical hollow region, and another component which has a spherical part which can be received in the hollow region for articulation relative to the cup component.
- Such joint prostheses can include hip joint prostheses and shoulder joint prostheses.
- the exterior of the cup will contact the prepared surface of the patient's bone in which the component is to be implanted.
- the interior of the cup will present a smooth bearing surface to the spherical part of the other component of the joint prosthesis.
- the bearing surface can be provided by a single piece cup component.
- the cup component can comprise a bearing part which provides the bearing surface, and which fits into a shell part.
- the bearing part can be made from a material which is different from the material of the shell part: for example the bearing part can be made from a polymeric material (such as polyethylene) and the shell part (and the spherical part of the other component) can be made from a metal (such as a cobalt-chromium based alloy, or a stainless steel, or a titanium based alloy).
- a polymeric material such as polyethylene
- the shell part (and the spherical part of the other component) can be made from a metal (such as a cobalt-chromium based alloy, or a stainless steel, or a titanium based alloy).
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,171,243 discloses an acetabular cup for use in a hip joint prosthesis.
- the cup comprises a shell which has a circumferential groove cut into its inner surface.
- the groove can received a flange at the free end of an insertion tool so that the cup is retained on the instrument, allowing the shell to be manipulated using the instrument.
- the grooved shell part receives a bearing part which has a smooth inner surface against which a bearing surface of another component of the joint prosthesis can articulate.
- the shell part can have fastening holes extending through its wall through which bone screws can extend to fasten the shell part to the surface of a bone.
- the present invention provides an instrument which relies on a retractable flange to secure it to a cup component having a groove in its internal surface
- the invention provides an for positioning a cup component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis, which comprises a shaft, and a flange towards the end of the shaft on which the cup component can be fixed, which extends from the shaft transversely, and which can be retracted from an in-use position in which the flange can be received in a groove in the internal surface of the cup component, when positioned over the said end of the instrument, and a retracted position in which the flange is withdrawn towards the axis of the shaft from the in-use position, allowing the cup component to be released from the instrument, in which the flange comprises at least two radially spaced apart flange portions (for example two, three or four flange portions), at least one of the flange portions being retractable as specified above and biassed towards the in-use position by means of a spring element which is made of a material which is different from that of the flange portion.
- the use of different materials for the spring element and the flange portion allows the materials of the two components to be optimised for their respective functions.
- the flange portion can be made of a metal (such as stainless steel or another metal as commonly used in the manufacture of surgical instruments).
- the spring element might also be formed from a metal, but generally a different metal from that of the flange portion.
- the spring element s formed from a non-metallic material, such as an elastomer. Suitable elastomeric materials include certain rubbers, especially silicone rubbers.
- the instrument includes a support which extends transversely, generally parallel to the flange, and in which the movement of the retractable flange portion between the retracted and in-use positions is in a direction which is parallel to the support.
- the support comprises at least one support plate which the retractable flange portion slides against.
- the support presents a pair of opposite support surfaces and the retractable flange portion slides between them. It is particularly preferred that the support presents a support surface which the side of the retractable flange portion facing towards the end of the instrument can slide against. This can help to support the flange against forces which tend to separate the prosthesis component from the instrument.
- the invention provides an instrument for positioning a cup component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis, which comprises a shaft, and a flange towards the end of the shaft on which the cup component can be fixed, which extends from the shaft transversely, and which can be retracted from an in-use position in which the flange can be received in a groove in the internal surface of the cup component, when positioned over the said end of the instrument, and a retracted position in which the flange is withdrawn towards the axis of the shaft from the in-use position, allowing the cup component to be released from the instrument,
- the retractable flange portion is biassed towards the in-use position by means of a spring element which is made of a material which is different from that of the flange portion.
- the spring element is formed from a non-metallic material.
- the spring element can be positioned between the flange portion and the axis of the shaft.
- the spring element can be compressed elastically by the flange portion when the flange portion is moved from its in-use position towards its retracted position.
- a preferred spring element comprises an O-ring which is positioned between the retractable flange portion and the shaft.
- the flange is located so that it extends around the shaft.
- the or each retractable flange portion has an upstand which, when the flange portion is moved from its in-use position towards its retracted position, contacts the O-ring and causes it to be compressed.
- the upstand will normally extend generally along (for example parallel to) the axis of the instrument, for example towards the end of the tool. However, the upstand can extend along the axis of the instrument in the direction away from the end of the tool.
- the instrument includes a pressuring plate which is fixed relative to the shaft with the flange between the plate and the said end of the shaft, for engaging the open mouth of the cup component to apply force to it, in which the edge of the plate is chamfered so that its transverse dimension is greatest at about the surface which contacts the cup component.
- the invention provides an instrument for positioning a cup component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis, which comprises (a) a shaft, (b) a flange towards the end of the shaft on which the cup component can be fixed, which extends from the shaft transversely, and which can be retracted from an in-use position in which the flange can be received in a groove in the internal surface of the cup component, when positioned over the said end of the instrument, and a retracted position in which the flange is withdrawn towards the axis of the shaft from the position in which it can be received in a groove in the cup component, allowing the cup component to be released from the instrument, and (c) a pressuring plate which is fixed relative to the shaft with the flange between the plate and the said end of the shaft, for engaging the open mouth of the cup component to apply force to it.
- the edge of the plate is chamfered so that its transverse dimension is greatest at about the surface which contacts the cup component.
- the transverse dimension of the pressurising plate is greater than that of flange when the flange is in its in-use position. This can help to ensure that the pressurising plate properly contacts the cup around its open mouth, so that force is applied accurately to the cup.
- the face of the flange which faces towards the said end of the shaft is chamfered at its edge. This can facilitate inward displacement of the flange so that it can be received in the groove, when the instrument is offered to the open mouth of the cup component.
- the instrument includes at least three radially spaced apart flange portions.
- the instrument includes a soft cap which is positioned between the flange and the said end of the shaft, and which at least partially surrounds the end of the shaft.
- the cap preferably extends around the shaft, for example generally in the form of a skirt. Preferably it also covers the end of the shaft (although the end can be left exposed).
- the material of the cap will be selected so that it will not damage the smooth polished internal surface of the cup component. Suitable materials include polymeric materials and elastomeric materials, such as polyethylene, silicone rubber etc.
- the invention provides a cup component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis, which has an external surface, a generally circular open mouth and an internal surface defining a generally hemispherical hollow region with a smooth bearing surface, in which a generally spherical part of another component of the joint prosthesis can be received for articulation relative to the cup component, in which the internal surface has a groove formed in it around at least part of the periphery of the component, the groove being defined by an inner lip, and an opposite outer lip which is closer to the open mouth, in which (a) the angle that is subtended at the centre of the hollow region between the edge of the cup component at the open mouth and the inner lip of the groove is not more than about 10°, and (b) the outer lip is displaced radially outwardly relative to the inner lip.
- the component of the invention has the advantage that it can be engaged by an instrument having a flange which can fit into the groove, and that the cup can present sufficient area of the internal surface for this surface to provide for articulation with the bearing surface of another component. Accordingly, when the component is a metal shell which is intended to be used without a bearing part within it (as can be the case in a joint prosthesis in which both bearing surfaces are provided by metals, or one is provided by a metal and other is provided by ceramic (including metal with a ceramic coating), the groove allows the component to be manipulated prior to fixation to the patient's bone tissue.
- the cup component of the invention can be a bearing part which has to be manipulated relative to a shell after the shell has been located and fixed relative to the patient's bone tissue.
- the displacement is determined by comparing the radius of the cup at the inner and outer lips.
- the extent of the displacement will depend on (a) providing the groove with sufficient depth that it can be engaged securely by a flange on an instrument, and (b) minimising the likelihood of the cup component being contacted by the other component of the joint during articulation, other than on the internal bearing surface.
- the ratio of the radius of the cup component at the inner lip of the groove to the radius of the cup component at the outer lip of the groove is not more than about 0.99, more preferably not more than about 0.98, especially not more than about 0.97, for example not more than about 0.95.
- the said ratio is at least about 0.85, more preferably at least about 0.90, for example at least about 0.95.
- the difference between the radii is preferably at least about 0.5 mm, more preferably at least about 1.0 mm.
- the difference between the radii is preferably not more than about 2.5 mm, more preferably not more than about 2.0 mm.
- the internal surface is chamfered at the open mouth, around at least part of the periphery of the component, more preferably around substantially all of the periphery.
- the provision of a chamfer on the internal surface can help to reduce further the likelihood of the cup component being contacted by the other component of the joint during articulation, other than on the internal bearing surface.
- the angle of the chamfer, between the chamfered internal surface and a tangent to the internal surface at the point at which the chamfered surface intersects the generally spherical surface is at least about 20°, more preferably at least about 30°, for example at least about 40° or 45°.
- the chamfer on the internal surface extends through at least about 20% of the thickness of the component, more preferably at least about 25%, especially at least about 30%.
- the external surface is chamfered at the open mouth, around at least part of the periphery of the component, more preferably around substantially all of the periphery. This can minimise obstruction to view of bone tissue immediately surrounding the site at which the component is implanted, and greatly facilitate accurate location of the component, in particular to ensure that the component can be seen to have been seated properly in the prepared recess in the bone before it is fixed in position.
- the angle between the chamfered external surface and a tangent to the non-chamfered part of the external surface is at least about 30°.
- the chamfer on the external surface extends through at least about 20% of the thickness of the component, more preferably at least about 25%, especially at least about 30%.
- the cup component has a planar face at the mouth substantially perpendicular to the polar axis of the component, extending around at least part of the mouth of the component, and preferably extending around all of the component.
- the planar face is provided between those chamfered faces. The provision of a planar face allows the component to be engaged by a plate to apply force to the component in a direction generally along the polar axis, to push the component into the prepared recess in the patient's bone.
- the cup component of the invention will often be rotationally symmetrical around the polar axis, although there can be deviations from such symmetry.
- the mouth of the component might not necessarily fall in a single plane. perpendicular to the polar axis.
- the component might include an extension of the internal surface around only part of its perimeter to reduce the risk of dislocation of the joint.
- the hollow region within the cup component will generally have a spherical shape, although there can be deviations from sphericity.
- the radius of the sphere can be slightly greater at or towards the equator compared with that at the pole. Frequently, when there are such deviations, they will be such that the internal surface is rotationally symmetrical. It will also generally be preferred for the deviations to be small.
- the angle that is subtended at the centre of the hollow region between the inner lips of the groove at two diametrically opposite points is at least about 150°, more preferably at least about 155°, especially at least about 160°.
- the angle will generally be less than 180°.
- the material which defines the groove falls outside this subtended angle.
- the angle that is subtended at the centre of the hollow region between the edge of the cup component at the open mouth and the inner lip of the groove is not more than about 10°, preferably not more than about 7°, for example about 5°. Designing the component with this angle as small as possible can help to minimise the likelihood of the cup component being contacted by the other component of the joint during articulation, other than on the internal bearing surface.
- the walls of the groove can be generally parallel, at least at the open end of the groove. This can ensure that a parallel walled flange is a sliding fit in the groove allowing the flange to be introduced easily into the groove and to be withdrawn from the groove, and that the play between the component and the instrument (which provides the flange) is small.
- the width of the groove (measured between its opposite walls) at the open end will depend on factors such as the size of the component and the amount of force that has to be applied to the component as it is manipulated during implantation.
- the width of the groove will generally be not more than about 3.0 mm, preferably not more than about 2.5 mm, more preferably not more than about 2.0 mm, especially not more than about 1.5 mm, for example not more than about 1.0 mm.
- the cup component can be made from a metal, especially when its external surface is intended to contact the patient's bone tissue. Suitable metals include cobalt-chromium based alloys, or certain stainless steels, or titanium or a titanium based alloy.
- the external surface can be fixed in the prepared cavity in the bone tissue using bone cement. Alter-natively, the external surface can be configured for cementless fixation, for example by provision of a porous surface, such as is available from DePuy Orthopaedics Inc under the trade mark POROCOAT.
- the cup component can be made from other hard materials, such as ceramic materials, including ceramic coated metals.
- the cup component can be made from a polymeric material, especially when it is intended to provide the bearing surface within a metal cup which is fastened within a prepared cavity in the patient's bone.
- a polymeric bearing component can be fixed within a metal cup using existing techniques, for example using elastically deformable wires which fit into aligned grooves in the bearing component and cup.
- cup component of the invention examples include as a component of a hip joint prostheses or a component of a shoulderjoint prosthesis.
- the size of the component will depend on factors such as its intended application.
- the radius of the generally spherical hollow region can be at least about 6 mm, sometimes at least about 8 mm, for example at least about 10 mm.
- the radius of the generally spherical hollow region can be at least about 15 mm, for example at least about 18 mm.
- the radius of the generally spherical hollow region can be not more than about 40 mm, preferably not more than about 35 mm.
- the thickness of the wall of the cup component will depend on factors such as its application, the material from which it is made, and the overall construction of the joint prosthesis. It will generally be preferred for the wall thickness (not including any coatings or other layers which are applied for fixation) to be as thin as possible to minimise the amount of bone which has to be resected from around the component, consistent with ensuring sufficient strength of the component, and ability to withstand wear due to articulation during use.
- its wall thickness will generally be at least about 1.5 mm, preferably at least about 2.0 mm, more preferably at least about 3.0 mm.
- the component when the component is made from a polymeric material (such as ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene), its wall thickness might be at least about 2.5 mm, preferably at least about 3.0 mm, more preferably at least about 3.5 mm.
- the wall thickness of the component can vary between the polar and other regions. For example, the wall thickness can be greatest at the pole, and least at or close to the open mouth. For example, in the case of a component formed from a hard material, the wall thickness can be about 4 to 6 mm at the pole, and 3 to 4 mm at or close to the open mouth.
- the characteristics of the internal surface for it to function satisfactorily as a bearing surface will depend on the material of the bearing surface and the overall construction of the joint prosthesis.
- the surface roughness of the internal bearing surface will preferably be not more than about 0.015 ⁇ m R a , more preferably not more than about 0.01 ⁇ m R a , especially not more than about 0.008 ⁇ m R a , for example not more than about 0.005 ⁇ m R a , as measured using conventional surface profilometer apparatus.
- the component of the invention can be manipulated using an instrument which comprises a shaft, and a flange towards the end of the shaft on which the cup component can be fixed, which extends from the shaft transversely, and which can be retracted from an in-use position in which the flange can be received in a groove in the internal surface of the cup component, when positioned over the said end of the instrument, and a retracted position in which the flange is withdrawn towards the axis of the shaft from the position in which it can be received in a groove in the cup component, allowing the cup component to be released from the instrument.
- an instrument which comprises a shaft, and a flange towards the end of the shaft on which the cup component can be fixed, which extends from the shaft transversely, and which can be retracted from an in-use position in which the flange can be received in a groove in the internal surface of the cup component, when positioned over the said end of the instrument, and a retracted position in which the flange is withdrawn towards the
- FIG. 1 is a cross-section through a cup component according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the edge of the cup component shown in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 3 is a cross-section through an instrument which can be used to manipulate the cup component shown in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 4 is a view of the edge of the cup component as shown in FIG. 2 , with the cup component attached to the instrument at one end thereof.
- FIG. 1 shows an acetabular cup 2 which has a generally hemispherical shape. It is formed from a cobalt-chromium based alloy.
- the external surface of the cup has a porous layer 4 formed on it, which is provided by particles which are sintered so that they bond to one another and to the surface.
- This technique to create a porous surface is known, and is used in connection with products sold by DePuy Orthopaedics Inc under the trade mark POROCOAT.
- Such a porous surface promotes fixation of the implant as a result of ingrowth of bone tissue.
- a groove 6 is formed in the internal surface of the cup close to the open mouth 8 .
- the groove is defined by an inner lip 10 , an outer lip 12 , and by opposite walls 14 , 16 which are parallel at the open edge of the groove.
- the walls of the groove are approximately perpendicular to the axis of polar the cup component.
- the internal surface of the cup within the region defined by the inner lip 10 of the groove 6 is smooth and highly polished, so that it is substantially free of imperfections and its surface roughness is not more than about 0.015 ⁇ m R a , preferably not more than about 0.01 ⁇ m R a .
- Techniques for finishing the surface are known in connection with the manufacture of orthopaedic joint prosthesis components.
- the smooth polished region of the internal surface of the cup provides a bearing surface against which a correspondingly smooth convex bearing surface of another component can articulate.
- the radius of the bearing region will be selected according to the size of the bearing surface of the other component, and will generally be slightly bigger than that of the bearing surface of the other component.
- the radius of the bearing region within the cup should preferably extend to the inner edge 10 of the groove 6 to provide for the largest range of articulation of the joint.
- the radius of the hollow region within the cup at the outer lip 12 of the groove 6 is greater than the radius at the inner lip (measured from the centre of the sphere defined by the bearing surface). This can be seen in FIG. 2 by means of the dotted line continuation of the spherical surface beyond the inner lip.
- the ratio of the radius at the inner lip to the radius at the outer lip is less than about 0.98.
- the difference between the radii is about 1.0 mm.
- the internal surface of the cup component is chamfered 18 between the outer lip 12 of the groove and the face of the component.
- the chamfered inner surface 18 helps to minimise restrictions on the range of articulation of the joint of the invention.
- the external surface of the cup component is chamfered 20 close to the open mouth.
- the chamfer is provided over that part of the component which is intended to protrude from the cavity in the patient's bone in which the component is to be implanted.
- the angle between the chamfered surface and the tangent to the external spherical surface is at least about 30°, for example at least about 40°.
- a planar face 22 is provided between the internal and external chamfered surfaces 18 , 20 .
- the groove is defined by parallel side walls 14 , 16 .
- the groove is rounded at the base of one of the walls.
- FIG. 3 shows an insertion instrument 30 which has a shaft 32 .
- the shaft can extend to a handle (not shown) by which the instrument can be held and manipulated.
- the instrument includes a flange 34 towards one end 35 .
- the flange extends transversely from the shaft.
- the flange is made up of a plurality of flange portions 36 , preferably four flange portions, which are spaced apart equally around the shaft.
- the flange portions can slide transversely relative to the axis which is defined by the shaft, between an in-use position in which the flange can be received in the groove 6 in the internal surface of the cup component, when positioned over the said end of the instrument, and a retracted position in which the flange is withdrawn towards the axis of the shaft from the position in which it can be received in the groove 6 .
- the flange portions slide within a housing defined by a base plate 37 which, in the illustrated embodiment, is formed integrally with the housing.
- the housing also includes an opposing plate 41 , opposite the base plate, so that the base plate and the opposing plate support the flange portions as they slide in the housing between in-use and retracted positions.
- the flange portions slide in the housing in a direction which is generally parallel to the flange.
- the opposing plate 41 supports the flange portions against forces directed along the shaft away from the end 35 of the shaft, which tend to separate the prosthesis component from the instrument.
- the face 38 of each of the flange portions which faces towards the end of the shaft is chamfered.
- the instrument includes a elastically compressible O-ring 39 which surrounds the shaft.
- the O-ring is retained within a slot 40 which extends transversely from the shaft.
- the flange portions 36 are biassed towards their in-use positions by means of the O-ring 39 which acts against an upstand 42 on the flange portions.
- the instrument includes a sliding collar 44 which bears a plurality of pins 45 extending from the collar in a direction parallel to the shaft axis, towards the end of the shaft.
- the pins are tapered at their ends.
- Holes 46 are provided in the base plate 37 which are aligned with the pins 45 on the sliding collar.
- Holes 48 are also provided in each of the flange portions which, when the flange portions are in their retracted position, are aligned with the holes in the base plate and the pins on the sliding collar. However, when the flange portions are in their in-use positions, the holes 48 in the flange portions are displaced outwardly relative to the holes 46 in the base plate. The flange portions can then be displaced inwardly, against the force exerted on them by the O-ring 39 by moving the collar along the shaft, towards the end of the shaft, so that the pins 45 pass through the holes 48 in the base plate and the into the holes 46 in the flange portions.
- the displacement of the holes in the flange portions relative to the holes in the base plate is such that the tapered ends of the pins can be forced into the holes in the flange portions. This is facilitated by the holes in the flange portions being tapered at the ends which face towards the pins. Continued sliding of the collar along the shaft increases the inward displacement of the flange portions towards their retracted positions.
- the face 50 of the base plate which faces towards the end of the instrument is planar.
- the edge 51 of the base plate is chamfered.
- the instrument includes a cap 52 which surrounds the shaft, formed from a soft material such as a rubber or a polymer, which will not scratch the internal surface of the cup when it contacts that surface.
- a cup component 2 is fastened to an instrument 30 by forcing the instrument into the cup component.
- the action of the chamfered face 38 of the flange portions against the chamfered internal surface of the cup causes the flange portions to be displaced inwardly against the outward force exerted by the O-ring.
- the flange portions can then spring back towards the in-use position, as they are received in the groove 6 .
- the cup component can then be manipulated using the instrument. Manipulation can include locating the cup component in a prepared recess within the patient's bone, aligning the cup component accurately, and also applying force along the axis of the shaft (which is aligned with the polar axis of the cup component) to force the cup into the recess.
- the chamfered edge 51 of the base plate, and the chamfered external surface 20 allows the surgeon to see the edge of the cup at the point (where the chamfered surface 20 and the porous coating 4 meet) which is intended to lie at the surface of the prepared cavity. This is important for the surgeon to be able to ensure that the cup has been implanted correctly.
- the sliding collar 44 is moved along the shaft towards the end thereof, so that the pins 45 pass through the holes 48 in the base plate and the into the holes 46 in the flange portions. This causes the flange portions to be displaced inwardly towards the shaft so that they are no longer held within the groove in the cup component. This allows the instrument to be disengaged from the cup component.
